A. The organizer of an expressive activity may give notice to the responsible official when an expressive activity is planned to occur on public property or in a public street or right-of-way. In such cases, the organizer of the expressive activity may submit to the responsible official a special event questionnaire and site plan, and provide details of the planned activity. Organizers of expressive activities are encouraged to provide such information as far in advance as reasonable in order that they may take reasonable steps to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the public in planning their expressive activity.

B. The responsible official may request the organizer of the expressive activity modify of the time and/or route of the expressive activity. Such requests may be made by the responsible official if he or she determines that the location, time and/or route of the expressive event would present an unreasonable risk to the health, safety or welfare of the public.

C. Provision of notice of an expressive activity to the city by organizers does not obligate or require the city to provide city services, equipment or personnel in support of the expressive activity.

D. Provision of notice of an expressive activity to the city by organizers does not relieve any person from the obligation to obtain any other permit or license required pursuant to the Vancouver Municipal Code or any other applicable law.

E. Except as provided in this section, no other provision of this chapter shall apply to expressive activities. (Ord. M-3956 §1, 2010)
